The Bricklayer,s Rise.

New York Tribune.
In the Holman House cafe q day or two ago
I met John G. Gault manager Of what is
known as the Erlanger system of railroads.
centering at Cincinnati and running south
ward through five or six states. Mr.. Gault
was bricklayer's apprentice In New Hamp-
shire before he went West to seek his fortune.
He had wide experience in the railroad busl-
ness in the Northwest before assuming his
present position. He Is what the people call
an odd fish, always saying queer things and
telling stories. Chatting about his railroad Mr..
Gault said: sour line runs through none but
Democratic states, but we never hear anything
about politics. We are there for business, and
its business or nothing with us. never knew

prevalence of that faith. wrote home to my

Johnny's Composition on Medicine.

''There Is two kinds Of medicine besides the
kind you Rub On and the first kind is the Soft
Kind which you take with q spoon while A
man holds your Head and you kick and Riggle
some because 1t tastes so and the other kind il
the Hard kind which Is called Pills and IL Is the
Hardest OF the whole because It Is SO Hard TO
90 Down but 1t does not make any Difference
which kind you Take when you get II Took
you wish you Had not for 1t makes quite a
Row in your Stomach and Riots Around"
Evidently Johnny's experience In medicine
does not include DR.. Pieree's pheasant Purg-
alive Pellets" which are easy to take and do
their work quietly and calmly. Neither does
1t include In the way of "Soft Medicine" DR.,
Pierces Golden Medical Discovery" which
though powerful to cure all chronic derange
ments of the liver and blood, is pleasant to the
taste and agreeable in its effects. Unequaled
as remedy for all scrofulous diseases, pim-
pies, blotches, errnptions, ulcers, swelled
glands, goitre or thick neck, fever-sores and
hip-joint disease.

A few years ago little book fell into
our hands, recounting the experience Of
a certain prominent business man. from
which it appeared that, as with mos {
Americans, too close attention to business
had broken his health. The doctor said
he could not live. He then stated that
he used certain article which eff
fectually cured him, and tout of graft
tude for his own recovery he determined
to devote portion of his fortune to
spreading its merits before the world"
As we read 1t we said: This is evidently
a shrewd expression of commercial mo-
tive; it sounds well; it reads well; but
many people will not believe it.
In few years, however, that man got
famous the world over. He gave several
hundred thousand dollars to astronomical
research. and his name became house
hold word in nearly every home in the
United States.
Hundreds of thousands Of people to-
day without reservation, say that to this

If ten men are collected together the
chances are that If one man incidentally
refers to Warmers safe cure seven of them
will be able to tell, from their own ex.
perience or from the experience of their
friends, of marvellous results which that
remedy has wrought.
Nothing has ever been put on the
market, we are told. the sale OF which
has been so great, and kept up SO won.
derfully, and this alone is evidence that
merit is at the bottom of its popularity.
In our files we find many an advertise.
ment from this house. Some people have
believed have used and have been cured;
others have disbclieved, have not used,
and died
The manufacturers have stated, as the
result of their most careful Investigations,
that the condition of the kidneys is the
key to health, and that they know if the
kidneys are maintained in health by
Warmers safe cure, ninety three per cent
of diseases would disappear.
The uric acid, or waste of the system,
left in the blood. by what may be called
constipated kidneys, blocks up the system
and carries disease to every organ.
This statement, made time and time
| again. is so full of sense that it is now
accepted as scientific truth by insur-
ance companies who reject millions of
risks every year if there is the least mac
tivity of these organs,
The public is tired of the wrangles of
this school and of that school, and it is
quick to recognize anything that has
such conceded merit, and on this ground
alone can we account for its extraordinary
sales and popularity.

Coffee and Chocolate.

A somewhat scientific composition may be
prepared of chocolate and coffee, the alliance
of which, balancing admirably their virtue
and excellence, partly corrects their evils, the
first being rather heavy. the other more lrri
table. This was first invented by N. de Vol
;aire. who constantly for his breakfast par
took of cafe-au-lait and half chocolate, which
were served at the same time in separate YES
sells in boiling state, and poured from each
slowly, about eighteen inches in elevation OF
his cup, which, he said, made 1t extremely
light and digestiblc. Years afterward Ma
poleon Bonaparte became so partial to 1t that
he used 1t constantly. After the great excite
ment and fatigue Of battle he frequently
partook of two or three cups. which seemed
to restore all the strength and energy which
used TO characterize his life.

Wouldn't Fight in That Way.

Harpers Bazaar.
Judge R., of Alabama. who has belonged
to every political party in his.state, and who
nevertheless retained the good will Of his fel-
low-townsmen, did so by the exercise of con-
siderable mother wit. One day, after giving
some unpalatable political advice to his neigh
bors, gentleman said to him: "Judge, | can
place no confidence in your advice. remem-
Der at the beginning of the war how confident
ly you assured us that the Yankees would be
whipped in two months. Why, heard you
say that we could whip them with pop-guns!'

could have whipped them with pop-guns, but
they wouldn't fight in that way.

HOUSEHOLD EMERGENCIES.
What to Do in Case of Sudden Ac-

What to Do in Case of Sudden Ac-
cident or sickness.
In case of cut or wound decide first
whether the blood comes from an artery
or a vein. If it is of dark color, Oozes
slowly and evenly, it is from vein,
while if from an artery, it will be
bright red and squirt IN jets. In the
former case you can generally check
the bleeding by binding on a hard pad.
In the latter case tie the limb with
twisted handkerchief or cloth between
the wound and the body. Then apply
cold cloths, ice. or. in severe cases,
cloths dipped in solution of alum or
taunin. AS soon as the bleeding is
checked bring the edges of the cut

Ii a sprained ankle occurs, remove
as quickly as possible the shoe and
stocking. Wash frequently with cold
salt water, and if there is much heat in
the joint, apply cloths wet with witch
hazel, which is generally on hand in the
family medicine chest. Keep the foot
elevated, and cool. do not stand on it,
and move it as little as possible. For
the sting of bee OF the bite of an in

She came and went, as comes and So~s
The dewdrop on the morning rose,
Or as the tnder ghts that die
At shut of day along the sky.
Her coming made the dawn more bright,
Her going brought the sombre night;
Her coming made the blossoms shine,
Her going made them droop and pine.
Where'er her twlnkling feet did pass,
Beneath them greenrr grew the grass;
The song-birds rufilcd their small threats
To swell for her their blithest notes.
But when she went, the b'ushing day
Sank into silence chill and gray,
The dark It's sable vans unfurled,
And sudden night possessed the world.
o fond des res that wake in vain!
She meier will come to us again;
And now, like vanished perfume sweet
Her memoir grows more vague and feet,
Yet We rejoice that morn by morn
The sad old world seems less forloru,
Since once so bright vision came
To touch our eyes with heavenly fame.
And show to our bewldered eyes
What beauty dwels in paradise.

A Smart Dog.

Troy Press.
A man up town owns dog that is so home
ly and ugly looking that one would Won
der what he ever was made for. The
animal has habit of picking up old shoes in
the street and carrying them to his home. He
seldom brings anything but old shoes, and
seems to have particular liking for that kind
of article. Recently he came home carrying
in his mouth new pair of shoes. He had APP
parently stolen them, and his master began
an investigation of the dogs actions. He found
that the animal had gone up to basket Of
shoes in front of a River Street store and took
his pick out of the lot, ond walked away with
his Ill gotten gains. Although there was a
close watch kept on the shoes in the basket to
protect them from thieves, the four-footed
sneakthief had succeeded In evading the
guardian.

RECONCILIATION.
AS one who, wandering In weary land
Alone, where thorns and briars beset the way,
And clouds and darkness have o'ercome the
day,
Suddenly feels from out the dark hand
In his, and hears a voice of mild command
At which the clouds disperse, the sunshine
gay
Returns, and all within his heart is May
As forth he goes unto some happy strand
So !, in darkness cropping, hear your voice
Again, and feel your hand in mine,
(For what is distance to true hearts that
loveO
And all my darkness ends, for at the sign
OF your forgiveness once more rejoice
And feel sweet Peace descending like .

Upon his brow, as he through long decades
In vision saw this Ioveiest of his maids
By beardess boys enacted, and her show
OF maiden grace obscured and hidden SO
In guise fyouths half.won from boyish trades.
Soon changed the vision and through centuries
